After slamming Maddox around, Ryback hit his huge clothesline and then Shell Shocked for the win. Post-match, Maddox was loaded onto the stretcher but Ryback knocked it over and broke it apart.

Post-match, Bryan celebrated with the winning team but seemed jealous of Kane teaming with Miz instead of him.

John Cena defeated CM Punk in a non-title match. Late in the match, Punk went for GTS but Cena countered and put him into STF. Punk managed to get to the ropes to break it.
